Despite the disappointing draw, Shin Song-hoon's surprising save shone.
South Chungcheong Province Asan and South Jeolla Province Dragons tied 0-0 at the eighth round of the Hana Bank K League 2 2025 held at Yi Sun-shin Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. South Chungcheong Province Asan had five undefeated matches.
The player who shone the most on the day was Shin Song-hoon. The opposing goalkeeper Choi Bong-jin was also excellent, but Shin Song-hoon saved his team by losing a series of decisive saves. After Jung Ji-yong broke through in the 21st minute of the first half, he sent a good pass. Jeong Kang-min, who had a one-on-one opportunity, shot, but Shin Song-hoon blocked it. In the 4th minute of the second half, Jung Ji-yong seized a good opportunity, but Shin Song-hoon blocked it.
Shin Song-hoon made good saves. In the 38th minute of the second half, Shin Song-hoon hit a perfect header from Hanam. With Shin Song-hoon's performance, Asan in South Chungcheong Province was able to earn points. There were only three saves, but all of them blocked critical chances.
Shin's performance is nothing new. Since debuting professionally at Gwangju FC, Shin quickly chose to join the military, played for Sangmu FC in Gimcheon and moved to Asan in South Chungcheong Province after discharge. He was selected as the starting goalkeeper last season as he displayed remarkable defense capabilities despite being a U-22-year-old talent. He displayed impressive defense in every game, spearheading a sensation in Asan in South Chungcheong Province. He was recognized for his performance when he was also selected as a candidate for the best goalkeeper in the K League 2.
Shin is only 180 centimeters tall. He is tall when considered by ordinary people, but short when considered as a goalkeeper. However, he overcame his height limit by focusing on reflexes and positioning. He is a legendary goalkeeper of the Real Madrid and Spain teams, Iker Casillas.
In an interview with Interfootball last time, Shin said, "I thought only the goalkeeper would keep getting taller, but he didn't. I was in a hurry, but I couldn't stay frustrated, so I tried harder than others." That effort is leading to his current performance.
The processing of balls in the air is also good. As of now, the team has processed 15 balls in the air, the largest number among goalkeepers of the K League 2. Officials who are meeting Shin for the first time applauding him, saying, "How can he be so short? He blocks everything by jumping and jumping." Watching the match in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, has become a fun part of the game.
After the game, Coach Bae Seong-jae praised Shin, saying, "He is a player I trust and use. He also did well in cases where I thought he lost a point. I hope he shows good performance as he does now. He is small in stature, but I think he is on par with the national goalkeeper." 토토사이트
If Shin abandons his prejudice against his height, he can even join the national team as an option. If his performance at Asan in South Chungcheong Province is supported, interest in Shin will naturally increase.
